Feels like it should be an episode of a semi-good weekly TV series

Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2005)

From what I've heard, either you love this move, or you hate it. I wouldn't go as far as saying I hated it, but I also couldn't' wait for it to end.
This could have been a very interesting idea to revolve a movie around. That is if the movie wasn't being revolved around action. I really wish they would have dealt with the deepness of the idea of clones discovering they were clones(and all that entails) more. Instead I felt they were writing the movie for the action. The action is quite enjoyable(the car/truck scene on the bridge is very well done), but I enjoy a little more with my movies.
Ewan McGregor is good, not his finest moment, but that's OK. Scarlett Johansson adds a lot of depth to what could have been very vapid. Michael Clarke Duncan shines in his brief appearance, and Steve Buscemi is good as always. Djimon Hounsou(brilliant in Amistad and Gladiator) has been miscast lately(this and Beauty Shop), it wasn't a poor performance, but I'd like to see better for him. The real stand-out of this movie is Ethan Phillips. He was incredible. I hope to see more of him. Also, it was very nice to see the great Mary Pat Gleason.
Many will enjoy this movie. I think I've seen too many great movies to be sucked into generic entertainment. There's nothing wrong with a movie like this. As they say "to each his own".
